Living in a Siheyuan

At around 4 a.m. the next day, Li Ping'an gently put Yu Li aside, covered her with a blanket, and then quietly walked out the door.

After getting myself ready, I drove towards the mountains.

After leaving the city and finding a deserted place, he put the car back into the space and used the space to escape.

Soon we arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked out at the dense forest inside.

Li Pingan thought about it and decided to forget it. Let's go into the space to practice. I haven't practiced properly for a long time. I am still at the stage of opening up the seventh meridian. I have to hurry up in the future.

He practiced until around three in the afternoon, then he left the space with the truck.

I put six wild boars weighing 200 to 300 kilograms in it, and a few silly roe deer, and then I headed back.

I didn't take out more prey this time, because supplies are very scarce right now. It would be too much trouble to explain if I took more.

If someone else asks me to help prepare the meat, it will be a hassle.

Driving all the way, running on the road full of dust.

When we were about to leave the mountain path and get on the main road, suddenly a big tree fell on the road ahead, blocking the car.

As soon as he saw this situation, Li Ping'an knew that he had encountered robbers.

Thinking of the miserable look on Wang Yousheng's face the last time he saw him, Li Ping'an was burning with anger.

He used his spiritual sense to scan and found four people hiding in the ditch beside the road. It was dry now, and there was no water in the ditch. These four people were holding two homemade guns. They were the old-fashioned homemade guns that had to be reloaded with ammunition after each shot.

The other two also held sticks and daggers. It was obvious that these people were not good people.

The invisible needle in Li Ping'an's sea of ​​consciousness moved, and appeared beside these people, piercing into the heads of the four people.

The four robbers didn't see anything, and just fell to the ground one after another, dying quietly.

Li Pingan went over and put the two earth spears into the space. Then he threw a fireball at each of the four people.

After a while, nothing could be seen except some burn marks.

I found some weed seeds in the space, infused them with spiritual power, and used the entanglement technique to throw the seeds into the burned area.

The weeds that can be seen with the naked eye began to grow.

This time, those traces were not visible at all.

After doing this, he put the big tree on the road ahead into the space. Li Pingan continued to drive back as if nothing had happened.

When we arrived in Sijiucheng, it was already five o'clock.

He first drove to the street office and asked someone at the door to call Director Wang out.

Director Wang probably knew he was coming and guessed something. There were also a few young guys coming with him.

Director Wang said happily, "Ping An, how is it this time? How much can you give to Aunt Wang?"

"Auntie Wang, come and have a look. There are six wild boars this time. Is it enough to leave one for you?"

Seeing six wild boars weighing 200 to 300 kilograms, Director Wang said happily, "Okay, there are only 30 or 40 of us, and these are enough for several meals. Each family can also share some."

"So how much do you think this is? I'll ask the finance department to calculate it for you."

"Auntie Wang, I'm in a hurry to deliver it to the factory. I'll be off work soon. Just take it for me. I'll come get it when I have time."

After that, Li Pingan handed Director Wang a pheasant and said, "Take this pheasant back and feed it to the child. The little guy wanted to eat some meat last time."

Li Pingan didn't say anything when he saw the men picking up a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms. Anyway, there were still so many left, enough for a meal for the whole factory.

He was not afraid to sell the meat to the street office. He was a purchaser for the steel mill, so it was acceptable for him to help the street office purchase some things. It was all public to public. If he sold it to a private person, it would be speculation.

Without waiting for Director Wang's reaction, he drove towards the steel mill again.

When we arrived at the factory, we drove directly to the warehouse to take over.

The canteen director who got the news also came with a group of people. They were all rubbing their hands, preparing to make a good meal. They hadn't eaten meat for several months and had been craving for this bite.

While the scale was being weighed, Li Huaide also came with Liu Zhiwei.

The two looked at the five big wild boars on the ground, and saw four or five stupid roe deer. They looked at each other.

Liu Zhiwei came over and pulled Li Pingan and said, "Is there anything else in the car?"

"No more, they are all here."

"Then you can keep two roe deer and tell them that you are taking the ones back home to eat. Sell the others to the factory."

Seeing Li Huaide looking at him and nodding to him, he understood that this was what Li Huaide wanted.

So he went over and picked up two roe deer that had not been weighed yet and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My friends and I wanted to keep two for ourselves, but I forgot about them. I'll take these two back."

Throw these two roe deer on the car and continue to weigh the rest.

No one else said anything. Everyone knew it. It was just that no one said anything. If they didn't want to sell it, no one could do anything about it.

After everything was put into the warehouse, Sha Zhu and his gang immediately stepped forward, and several of them carried the goods away.

Li Ping'an also drove the car to the entrance of the purchasing department, where Li Huaide's jeep was already waiting.

Watching the driver put the two roe deer into the car and drove away, Li Pingan did not ask any more questions. He knew that Li Huaide would definitely not give him less.

When he finished his work and returned to the purchasing department, Liu Zhiwei called him directly over.

Sure enough, Li Huaide was also there.

He smiled and threw a cigarette to Li Pingan.

Then he said, "Ping An, thank you for this time. I have a use for those two roe deer. This is for you. Take it."

After saying that, he handed Li Ping'an ten big unity notes.

Li Pingan didn't answer and said, "Director Li, if you want to use it, just tell me directly. Why would you charge for such a small thing?"

Li Huaide held Li Ping'an's hand and slapped the money to him.

"Just take it if I tell you to. You risked your life to go into the mountains to help our factory solve its problems. I can't let you, a great contributor, suffer and be wronged."

"Don't worry, after this time, you will not be short of rewards from the factory."

In fact, these two roe deer only cost 40 to 50 yuan when sold to the factory. They would probably cost 70 to 80 yuan when sold on the black market. This 100 yuan is too much.

But now you can’t buy things with money. If you have money but no goods, you can’t get them at the normal price.

So Li Pingan accepted the money.

After finishing his work at the factory, Li Ping'an rode his motorcycle home again.

Now this motorcycle is equivalent to Li Pingan's exclusive mount. There are only five people in their department, including the deputy section chief Zhou Changming. The other four people can't ride. And the supplies they get every month are not as much as Li Pingan alone. So no one said anything.

When we were almost home, there were two pheasants and a hare in the truck.

As soon as I entered the door, I met Yan Bugui again. I saw Li Ping'an riding a motorcycle with two pheasants and a hare in it. I was really envious.

However, he also knew that there was a pregnant woman in the family, so it was not convenient for him to go there and eat for free.

But he increasingly felt that it would be nice if his son Jie Cheng also became a buyer and could bring meat back home as often as Li Ping'an.

It seems that this matter needs to be settled early.

He watched Li Ping'an riding his motorcycle into the yard. He hurried home to find Yan Jiecheng.

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Yu Li also came out of the house.

Seeing Li Ping'an coming back with two pheasants, Yu Li said happily: "Why are you bringing food home again? We didn't eat the dried ones."

"It's okay. The dried ones can be kept for a long time. Let's eat the fresh ones."

"I'll send one to your house later. We can keep a pheasant and a rabbit for food."

"Did the child make a fuss today?"

After Li Pingan finished speaking, Yu Li came up to take the food. She said, "No, they are both very well behaved today. They just ate and fell asleep."

He quietly went in to check on the two little guys. They were sleeping soundly. The second child, Haoyu, was still blowing bubbles. Li Ping'an's heart melted.

I gently popped the bubble at the corner of his mouth with my hand, and then tiptoed out.

When Li Ping'an and Yu Li were collecting pheasants and rabbits, Yan Bugui came with Yan Jiecheng.

Seeing Li Ping'an skinning a hare and Yu Li plucking pheasant feathers, Yan Bugui felt envious.

Yan Jiecheng also swallowed his saliva helplessly, his heart full of fantasies about this job.

Li Pingan said casually: "Second uncle, I'm sorry, I'm busy right now. Let's talk here."

Yan Bugui said hurriedly: "It's okay, everything is fine. You go about your business. I borrowed some money today and it's already gathered. What do you think of the rest?"

"Okay, then come over tomorrow morning when you're done. I'll take you to go through the formalities."

"But we have made a deal. You will be a buyer when you go in. You will go to the countryside to make purchases. You must be careful."

"Also, according to regulations, this job will be permanent in a few months, but you can't make any big mistakes during this period. If you make any big mistakes during this period, you can be fired directly, not to mention permanent. Don't come to me about this in the future."

After hearing what Li Ping'an said, Yan Jiecheng immediately assured him, "Brother Ping'an, don't worry. I will listen to you when I get there. I will definitely not make any mistakes and will not embarrass you."

With Yan Jiecheng's guarantee, Li Pingan let Yu Li take the money.

Yan Bugui gave 600 yuan to Yu Li with a painful heart.

Seeing Li Ping'an taking out the entrails of the pheasant and the hare and planning to throw them away, he hurried forward and said, "Ping'an, don't you want these things anymore?"

"No, Second Master. There's not much meat in these things, and it's troublesome to clean them up."

"Oh, what a pity! Ping An, if you don't want it, give it to me, the second uncle. I'll go home and pack it up."

Think about it, you won’t eat it anyway, so just give it to me.

Li Ping'an gave all his internal organs to Yan Bugui.

Now Yan Bugui was happy, feeling that he had gotten the upper hand again today.

So he happily took these things and went home.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to go home and eat meat, as there hadn't been any oil or water in the house for a long time.

What Li Ping'an didn't know was that Yan Bugui and the second aunt washed these things. In the evening, they only cooked less than one-third of it, and they fried it with cabbage. They called it "you won't be poor if you don't eat well, you won't be poor if you don't plan well." This way, the family can have more food for a few days.

After dinner in the evening, Li Ping'an secretly sent a pheasant and twenty kilograms of cornmeal to Yu Li's family.
